After Cocaine Use: Teichtmeister Remains for Now in Forensic-Therapeutic Center

A corresponding report by the "Kronen Zeitung" was confirmed by court spokeswoman Christina Salzborn to the APA. A judge, on the advice of an expert, has ordered a crisis intervention to sustainably wean the 46-year-old off his substance addiction with appropriate treatment. This may last until January 28 at the latest.

Teichtmeister was ordered to absolute drug abstinence

By then, the judge must decide, based on an expert opinion, whether Teichtmeister must be detained indefinitely or may leave the forensic-therapeutic center under certain conditions. However, he does not have to fear the revocation of the two-year suspended prison sentence for possession and production of files depicting abuse of children and adolescents.

The substance addiction played a role in Teichtmeister's trial insofar as it was, according to the court's findings, a contributing factor to the committed offenses. In his trial, the ex-actor was sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence due to a psychologically attested disorder and additionally to placement in a forensic-therapeutic center. This measure was also conditionally suspended but linked with several conditions. Above all, Teichtmeister was ordered to absolute drug abstinence.
